Thanks brother, I feel very lucky to have found my ultimate cruiser
.I have a diesel vw that I like alot......but nothing fills the void like this little rig, been driving it every day and all I can say is that I feel at home again...
Pretty sure the direction with it will be pretty much stock with 33s and arb lockers, 8274 winch, nothing special...

"Ultimate cruiser?"....."feel at home again?".... c'mon Rob, you are fooling yourself. I feel you are in denial and perhaps don't realize the gravity your cruiser addiction really carries.
You'll be over it soon enough and I will be there to pick up the pieces for you... at least the big beige one.
Like the plan! Thats the route I'd go with a 42. Skinny 33's, stock wheels with cool OEM hubcaps, mild lift, cool utilitarian winch and bumper and other than that stock (restored).
Have at 'er bud.

Ya, gonna drive it for a month or two and gather parts in the mean time.
Me and my daughter went up Dumont and got ourselves a charlie brown christmas tree, it only stuck out the back of the 42 a few feet.
Could you shoot me a pdf of the exhaust flange, got a buddy with water jet table and another with plasma table.
He said we could do a template, take a picture and copy it to the computer and do it that way?

Rob
Cool, the way I see it, Ill be getting them back at some point anyway. (at least I hope so)
lolThats if Danno wont part with his first, In the mean time Ill just keep hounding the both of you.
Gald you got it, Rob! It was tough for them to let it go.
Darnell is your green 42 for sale yet?
Not yet!
Thanks Darnell, pretty sure I got it because of you, they were very rluctant to sell it...
Several people have stopped by the store and asked about it, few have offered to buy it already.
One guy use to ask the daughter if she would sell it to him weekly, back when he lived in Vic...He could not believe his eyes this morning when he pulled into the metal super market parking...
